NEW YORK (AP) - A key accuser in Harvey Weinstein’s rape trial has testified that he made a series of unwelcome sexual advances.

She told jurors Friday that he once tried to kiss her as she strove to fight him off, then told her she couldn’t leave until he, in his words, did something for her. She said he then performed oral sex on her.

Weinstein’s lawyers plan to seize on her complicated history with the disgraced film producer, including warm emails, as they look to raise doubts about her credibility. Weinstein has insisted any sexual encounters were consensual.
